@RedDragan - GT5....lol. Sorry, but a racing game more anticipated than a FPS in this generation of gaming? Sorry, but no. FPS are the king of this generation, like it or not, hell shooters are period. Maybe back in the PS2 days GT would be more anticipated, but not in the gen.

Some of the highest rated games are pretty much all some sort of shooter.

Now take a look at those. GT is at the bottom, while Forza is rated the highest this gen, even though its considered by people on this site "A total fail and bla bla bla". Will GT5 score higher than all those games? Possibly, but seeing how Forza is the only racing game to hit the 90's while every other game is 89 and below, shows there isn't to much love for racing games anymore. If you look at last gen racing games you had tons of games in the 90's like GT, N4S , etc.

@Timesplitter14 - Have you been living under a rock? Halo Reach is FAR more anticipated than Halo 3. Reach has over 1 million pre-orders and out pacing the biggest game launch of all time aka MW2. It also had over 1 million beta testers. All that plus this being Bungies last Halo game, makes it more anticipated than ever.

It's certainly not the most anticipated. Halo 3 was more anticipated than Reach. MW2 too, wether we like it or not. MGS4, Gears 2, GTA4, etc... too. And since COD4 stole Halo's flame, Halo isn't as strong of a franchise as it was before.

Actually, Modern Warfare 2 probably was more anticipated, but only because it released on 2 consoles simultaneously. There were more people to be excited for it. But Halo: Reach is definitely the most anticipated game on any single console this gen and is outpacing MW2 for the 360, which is the current record holder.

Pre-orders 3 weeks before launch:

Halo: Reach: 1,458,990 Modern Warfare 2: 1,438,828

It is also far outpacing GT5 for any PS3 fans who want to claim that GT5 is more anticipated.

Pre-orders 10 weeks before launch:

Halo: Reach: 477,429 Gran Turismo 5: 157,969

That's three times more preorders for Halo: Reach at the same time period before launch.

Not necessarily. It's pretty safe to say that Reach is Bungie's last Halo game. And it's one where they finally have the Covenant playing a major part while upping the visuals to a level I think is worthy of a next-gen/current-gen system like the 360.

I didn't get a 360 when Halo 3, Halo Wars, or Halo ODLC came out because I didn't feel those games were worth the investment. After playing the Reach beta with family and friends, I felt justified in making the leap (plus there are a ton of old 360 games that I can get cheap).

But trust me, if MS decides to drop Halo carts or gives the Halo franchise to a dev that doesn't do something good with the game, I'll pass. I may be a 360 owner now but I'm not one of those guys that just runs out to buy the annual Halo game. I think I showed that by waiting this long to get a 360.

the obvious answer would be a video game. Its almost a rethorical question.

and my title was sarcastic, and if you look at my title ("you guys are dumb....) you could tell that my comment was supposed to be dumb. and i apologise for calling people dumb, i didnt wanna say stupid. its rough on the tongue and a bit more harsh

Sarcasm RARELY works on the internet ESPECIALLY when you make no effort to display it as sarcasm, a simple /s would be fine. You should for future reference realise text doesn't change no matter how sarcastic you make it for example

The racing games you mentiond will not be able to compare to GT5. This game is not like Alan Wack which took 5yrs took make. Also MW2 and GTA4 are really overated. Halo Reach is the only game that MS has this year.
